Kailangan natin ng agarang pagkakapantay-pantay ng kasarian. Pinipigilan ng pagkakapantay-pantay ng kasarian ang karahasan laban sa mga kababaihan at kababaihan. Mahalaga ito para sa kaunlaran sa ekonomiya. Ang mga lipunan na pinahahalagahan ang mga kababaihan at kalalakihan bilang pantay ay mas ligtas at mas malusog. Ang pagkakapantay-pantay ng kasarian ay isang karapatang pantao. Lahat ay nakikinabang sa pagkakapantay-pantay ng kasarian.

" life is not a competition between men and women. it is a collaboration."

DAVID ALEJANDRO FEARNHEAD

Ang pagkakapantay-pantay ng kasarian ay nangangahulugan na ang mga kalalakihan at kababaihan ay may pantay-pantay na karapatan at responsibilidad sa lipunang kinabibilangan. Ang pagkakapantay-pantay ng kasarian ay tungkol din sa pakikibahagi ng tungkulin para sa ikauunlad ng lahat. Kung mahahadlangan tayo ng kasarian na makita ang kahinaan at kalakasan ng bawat indibidwal, maari itong maging dahilan ng diskriminasyon sa bawat isa.

Pagrespeto sa nararamdaman ng iba, ang pagsulong ng mga adbokasiya na magpapalawak ng kaalaman sa ibat ibang kasarian para mabigyang ng kaunawaan ang bawat indibidwal at pagyamanin ang pagmamahal sa kapwa sa tulong ng paggalang at pagtanggap ng walang diskriminasyon.

Ang pagkakapantay-pantay ng kasarian ay kapag ang mga tao sa lahat ng kasarian ay may pantay na mga karapatan, responsibilidad at pagkakataon. Ang bawat isa ay apektado ng hindi pagkakapantay-pantay ng kasarian - kababaihan, kalalakihan, trans at kasarian magkakaibang mga tao, bata at pamilya. Nakakaapekto ito sa mga tao sa lahat ng edad at pinagmulan.

Fast Facts: Gender Equality and Women's Empowerment in the Philippines

August 1, 2013.

Gender equality is well advanced in the Philippines. The country scores well on international gender equality measures and indices, but more is needed to sustain the achievements and to overcome remaining challenges. Despite a favorable policy environment – the Philippines is signatory to international human rights instruments and has successfully enacted policies and laws for the protection and promotion of women’s rights - the implementation of policies appears uneven and slow.

PILIPINAS, NANGUNGUNA SA ASIA SA GENDER EQUALITY

Ang Pilipinas ang best performing country sa Asia sa pagpapakitid ng agwat ng mga kasarian. Ito ang tanging bansa sa Asia-Pacific na naisara nang tuluyan ang hindi pagkakapareho sa edukasyon at kalusugan, nakapagtipon ng .0781 puntos, ayon sa Global Gender Gap 2014 report ng World Economy Forum (WEF), na inilabas noong Oktubre October 29, 2014. Sa ika-9 na puwesto sa 142 bansang na-survey, taglay ng Pilipinas ang best place sa Southeast Asia, na sinundan ng Singapore (59), Thailand (61), Vietnam (76), Indonesia (97), at Brunei (98). Sa top 10 ng most gender-equal countries, kasama ng Pilipinas ang Iceland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Nicaragua, Rwanda, Ireland, at Belgium. Nang simulan ng WEF ang report noong 2006, laging nasa top 10 ng listahan ang Pilipinas.

Ang report, na nasa ikasiyam na taon na gnayon, ay sumuri sa 142 bansa sa kung gaano kahusay nilang hinahati ang resoruces at mga oportunista sa populasyon ng mga lalaki at babae. Sinubaybayan nito ang matibay na ugnayan sa pagitan ng gender gap ng isang bansa at sa national competitiveness nito. Sapagkat saklaw ng kababaihan ang kalahati ng potential talent base ng isang bansa, ang competitiveness ng isang bansa ay nakasalalay sa kung paano nito pinaglalaanan ng edukasyon at pinakikilos ang mga babae, ayon dito.

Sinukat ng report ang gender inequality sa apat na larangan - Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Political Empowerment, at Health and Survival. Pangalawa ang Pilipinas sa Norway sa abilidad ng kababaihan na umangat sa mga posisyon ng pamumuno at kalakalan, at may mataas na persentahe ng mga establisimiyento na may partisipasyon ng kababaihan sa pag-aari.

Sa pangkalahatan, ayon sa report, humuhusay ang gender equality sa daigdig, na may 105 bansa ang nagiging mas patas simula pa noong 2006 at ang access sa kalusugan at edukasyon ang pinakapantay sa buong daigdig. Ipinakita ng report ang karamihan sa mga improvement ay nasa partisipasyon ng kababaihan sa pulitika; na ang maraming progreso sa gender equality nitong huling mga taon ay nagmula sa pagpasok ng mas maraming babae sa pulitika at sa trabaho. Mahalagang matamo ang gender equality lalo na sa ekonomiya, ayon sa WEF, sianbi na yaong mga ekonomiya na may full access sa lahat ng kanilang talento ang nananatiling competitive at sasagana.

The future is equal

Search form, survey: filipinos still believe gender stereotypes on breadwinning, unpaid care work but positive changes seen.

To shed light on the current situation of unpaid care work in Filipino homes, especially among urban millennials in the BPO sector, Oxfam Pilipinas, with the support of Investing in Women, commissioned The Women and Gender Institute (WAGI) of Miriam College to conduct a study on the issue.

The study officially launched Tuesday (March 29) showed that Filipino women are still bearing the brunt of unpaid care work, resulting in many of them juggling full-time work and a “second shift” at home tending to backbreaking household chores and caring for family members.

“Findings from the research, which involved 232 respondents, confirm that traditional gender norms or stereotypes surrounding unpaid care work and breadwinning still persist in this day and age. Women are still pressured to do more household chores and care work even while working full-time. Men are also still expected to be primary breadwinners of households,” said Leah Payud, Oxfam Pilipinas Resilience Portfolio Manager.

Payud added, “Nevertheless, there’s a lot of potential for positive changes to occur among urban millennials. Also, due to the high rate of women employed in BPOs, the industry is a promising area to begin shifting gender norms for the better.”

WAGI and Oxfam Pilipinas, which has supported several surveys and studies on gender rights in the Philippines, conducted the Action Research “Addressing Gender Norms on Unpaid Care, Domestic Work and Breadwinning in the time of COVID-19” as women breadwinners have been experiencing longer hours doing household chores and caring for their families during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Oxfam previously released a household survey showing that men spent more hours doing unpaid care work during the pandemic. However, women still shouldered the bulk of the tasks.

READ RELATED STUDY: Filipino men log more care work hours due to pandemic but bulk of tasks still fall fall on women--survey

Of the 232 respondents of the 2022 action research, all were full-time BPO employees and nearly half were household heads. Majority (78%) are from Metro Manila, 15% are from Metro Cebu and the rest are from other parts of the country. There were a select number of the respondents who were also in focus group discussions.

During the launch of the research, attended by Investing in Women, representatives from the Regional Tripartite Wages and Productivity Board (Region VIII), and Philippine Commission on Women, Oxfam Pilipinas shared the results of WAGI’s action research with professionals within the BPO sector, gender and inclusion advocates, as well as key stakeholders.

Persistent Gender Norms When it Comes to Breadwinning and Unpaid Care Work

Key findings from Oxfam Pilipinas and WAGI’s research indicate that:

• Women still take on much of the responsibilities in the home, such as unpaid care work and household chores.
• Breadwinning is still a responsibility mostly taken up by men but urban millennials believe women can also be breadwinners.
• Women continue to be held against very high standards, especially when seeking to apply for traditionally male roles.
• The traditional gender norm that men are preferable leaders compared to women — because men are seen as decisive, intentional and strong whereas women are seen as tentative, emotional and indecisive — remains pervasive. 
• Workplace discrimination based on one’s sexual orientation and gender identity still happens.
• Balancing work responsibilities with unpaid care and domestic responsibilities has been difficult throughout the pandemic.

Positive Shifts and the Way Towards a More Equitable Future

The research also identified areas for potential positive changes.

“We’ve seen through the study that more women are taking on breadwinner roles. Other family members are also now contributing to unpaid care work to help their parents,” Payud said.

Taking into consideration the issues raised by the respondents, the study suggested the following recommendations:

• Ensure diversity among staff by assessing existing job descriptions and requirements and change them to expand pool of applicants;
• Ensure better representation of women in leadership roles;
• Mainstream unpaid care and domestic work through workplace gender equality programs, including allowing flexible working hours for both men and women employees and extending parental leaves.
• emphasizing the need for men to do their fair share of unpaid care work;
• advocating for national policies that support men in the workplace who do unpaid care work; and
• putting more mechanisms in place that support community care wor k (community kitchens, day care, etc.).
• Institutional support for women breadwinners must take into account men who receive women’s financial support, through campaigns and workshops that guide them on how to be a man in a more gender-equal society.
• The need to design strategies based on the potential positive changes identified in the study, e.g. unpaid care work involves life-sustaining (not gendered) skills.
• Further research on unpaid care work that takes into consideration social class, financial status, and nonbinary and LGBTQIA+ people.

Now that there is preliminary understanding on the perceptions and situations of Filipino urban millennial couples at home, Oxfam believes there is a need for further research and surveys. Factors such as social class or financial status needs to be taken into consideration.

“We also need to make more visible the challenges faced by non-binary and LGBTQIA+ community members,” Payud said.

“Hopefully through our joint work with the government and other organizations, we can raise the awareness about the burden of unpaid care work — how it should be recognized as real work and how those who take on the task should be supported by their families and society,” the Oxfam official said. #

An Update on Filipino Philosophy: A Critical Bibliography

Rolando M Gripaldo

This bibliographic research is the second update of Filipino philosophy: A critical bibliography [1774-1992]. The first update—from 1993 to 1997—was finished in 1999. Every five years, an update is conducted so that researchers will be abreast with the current works directly or indirectly related to Filipino philosophy. It is hoped that others may continue this kind of update.

De La Salle University Press (e-book)

This bibliography attempts to clarify the nature and scope of Filipino philosophy, that is, firstly, in what sense is a philosophy called "Filipino"? Alternatively, what are the senses of the term "Filipino philosophy?" Secondly, how do we determine the content of a Filipino philosophy? [It is important to read "Filipino Philosophy: Past and Present" (2013) because of some revisions.]

This paper argues that an examination of the historiographical trajectory of scholarly works on the Philippine peasantry, particularly peasants in Luzon provinces, and transnational migration can deepen our understanding of Carlos Bulosan's life and works. Using E. San Juan, Jr. 's Carlos Bulosan and the Imagination of the Class Struggle as the analytic focus in pursuing the argument, we aim to contextualize Bulosan's life story within the larger framework of the history of Philippine peasant movements and draw connections between his life in America and the contemporary experience of Filipino migrants. To reach these objectives, we need to understand San Juan's text as part of a wider scholarly terrain that has become increasingly interdisciplinary over the years from the 1970s up to the present.

This study argues that Marikina city’s nostalgically popular trademark as the Philippines’ footwear capital has been made possible by sapatero in the past and present who have enacted a localised economy. This narrative begins with the story of the footwear-making industry in the sleepy town of Mariquina at the end of the nineteenth-century. Then, through archival research, analysis of previous works and participant-observation, a series of infrastructural, economic, political and social phenomena will be problematized to better understand the periods and ‘perceived moments’ when footwear production in the city reached national prestige and encountered obstacles. Next, ascertaining the causes of this localised industry’s presently informal structures will prove that its sapatero have continued to adapt and survive amidst a series of local, national and global challenges. Lastly, the manner with which footwear in Marikina is promoted by the city’s local government and represented by private retailers will be manifested. These channels, albeit faced with a number of problems, are also shown to be sources of opportunity which can improve the state of footwear-making and the lives of Marikina’s sapatero. At the heart of this work are the life histories of sapatero who have witnessed a time of prosperity and periods of set-backs in this localised industry. Illumining the lives of sapatero, from which an enacted economy emerged, provides a magnified view about footwear not too captivated on the amount or cost produced, but on people who create footwear in/for the city. This study shall illustrate that it is on account primarily of Marikina’s sapatero, and less on footwear as a commodity, that Marikina city has enacted a localised economy. Demonstrating this here intends to inform theoretical ideas relevant to discourses on work, culture and urban theory. The research questions and objectives of this study are a means to dialogue with such broad base of conceptual aggregates. The case of footwear in Marikina city exemplifies how a city is best understood in its own terms rather than pitting it vis-à-vis “global standards” of economic progress. The survival of a dynamic network of sapatero, detached from the global competition of footwear commodities, while neither directly contributing to the financial revenue of the city nor the country’s, can be interpreted as a certain form of shielding which is decent evidence of the survival of a city’s localised industry rather than a sign of its decline.

Joel Wendland-Liu

Throughout his astoundingly productive career, San Juan has unmasked how the intelligentsia becomes imbricated in the abuses of capitalism, colonialism and racism, and demands that those in the privileged space of the academy acknowledge and address ever-increasing inequality. He has dissected the theories and methodologies deployed in pedagogy and scholarship at different historical moments and has shown how issues of class, political economy, and (internal and international) colonialism become abstract and immaterial in the hands of intellectuals, even those who proclaim alliance with the wretched of the earth.

Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints

Filomeno Aguilar , Nicholas Sy

Fr. Horacio de la Costa became the first Filipino Superior of the Jesuit Province in the Philippines (1964–1970) at a time when the Filipinization of religious orders was intensely contested. As a young priest, De la Costa sought the training of more Filipino priests so that the Catholic Church would “take root” in the country. Filipinization, however, entailed two further questions: Filipino assumption of leadership positions and the role of foreign missionaries. This article examines how De la Costa’s approaches to these issues shifted when he became provincial and as the crisis in Philippine society deepened, revealing the intertwining of national and church history.

Overcoming barriers to women’s work in the Philippines

Helle buchhave, nadia belhaj hassine belghith.

The current status of women in the Philippines is both a cause for optimism and a reason to accelerate efforts for promoting better access to jobs for all women. On several fronts, the Philippines is a best performer when it comes to gender equality in the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) region and even globally. In the latest Global Gender Gap report, the Philippines occupies the 17th place, with 78.4% of its overall gender gap closed to date. This performance is the second best in the EAP region, after New Zealand. A key driver behind the progress has been the Philippine Magna Carta for Women, a landmark law signed nearly 13 years ago seeking to eliminate discrimination against women. 

With the impressive performance in closing key gender gaps, it is therefore striking that women’s labor force participation remains persistently low. At just 49%, the Philippines’ female labor force participation in 2019 was one of the lowest in the EAP region (regional average rate is 59%). In contrast, 76% of Filipino men were in the labor force, creating a massive gender gap. Progress towards closing the gap has been minimal and female labor force participation has remained roughly the same since 1990, with the gap shrinking by a mere 0.3 percentage points since 2015. 

Women’s low labor force participation represents a missed opportunity for economic growth and increased prosperity in the Philippines. An increase of women’s labor supply by a mere 0.5 percentage points per year would increase gross domestic product (GDP) per capita by about 6% by 2040 and almost 10% by 2050.  

In our recent report, Overcoming the Barriers to Women’s Economic Empowerment in the Philippines , we set out to better understand what is holding women back from the labor market and what is hindering the Philippines’ gain from the growth potential associated with women’s economic empowerment. We document that childcare and social norms about gender roles in the household play a critical role in holding back women’s participation in the labor market in the Philippines. The report adds to our research across the EAP region offering evidence on the linkages between constraints to women’s labor force participation and access to childcare services in Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Solomon Islands, and Vietnam . 

What are the barriers to women’s labor force participation in the Philippines? We find four main answers:

Skills. Women who work are mostly concentrated in low skill positions (due to economic necessity) or high skill occupations (because of high rates of education). Women in low skill positions work to avoid falling further into poverty, whereas women in high skill occupations tend to select into the labor force with high earnings potential. Although many women work in private establishments or are self-employed, an important share (around 10%) of women are employed without pay in family-owned businesses and as domestic workers, occupations which tend to offer narrower avenues for skills development and career growth. Men on the other hand represent only 4% in these occupations. An important lesson from the COVID-19 lockdown was that more than a third of women (35%) who remained employed were able to work from home as compared to 19% of men. The pandemic has also opened some new working-from-home opportunities with industries such as business process outsourcing and e-commerce . 

Wage gap. Women earn more on average than men, but women in low skill positions earn much less than men. In families with both men and women being low skilled workers, the household income will suffer significantly less if the female engages in unpaid work than if the man does. In low skill positions, the daily wage is over 50% higher for men than for women, whereas in high skill occupations, the daily wage is about 20% higher for women than for men.  

Care responsibilities. The number of children reduces the likelihood of women’s employment. A large proportion of women are held back from productive employment opportunities by their family responsibilities and the concentration of women in high-skill positions declines considerably when they have young children. Having been married and having a young child aged 0 to 2 years old decreases the probability of women’s participation in the labor market by 7-14 percentage points. The presence of domestic help reduces this negative effect, reflecting how economic inequalities reinforce gender disparities.

Norms. Attitudes and beliefs about women’s roles and responsibilities decrease the probability of women’s engagement in the labor market by 14 to 22 percentage points (ISSP Family and Changing Gender Roles Survey and World Values Survey).  According to our 2021 nationally representative survey on women’s work and childcare, 75% of male and 80% of female respondents agree that a man’s job is to earn money and a woman’s job is to take care of the family and home. More than 70% of men and 76% of women believe that the emotional and psychosocial development skills of a preschool child suffers with a mother working outside the home (a belief that stands in contract to global research see for example Devercelli and Beaton-Day 2020). Moreover, willingness to use childcare services is limited, with over 95% of both men and women believing that childcare should be provided by family members.

What can the government do? We discussed policy recommendations at a recent roundtable between the World Bank, the Philippines Commission on Women, National Economic and Development Authority, the Department of Education, and Oxfam Philippines. Key outcomes were that findings highlight the need for policies and programs that increase female labor force participation in the Philippines by i) providing alternatives to childcare in the home; ii) promoting policies supporting flexible work arrangements, including work from home and e-commerce , such as amendment of the Telecommuting Act (Republic Act 11165); and iii) addressing gendered social norms that affect women’s participation in the labor market through media campaigns, behavioral and attitude change interventions that influence opinions about masculinity, gender roles, earlier childhood development, legislation and company policies that equally promotes parents to engage in care responsibilities. 

“We keep gender equality front and center in our work,” according to Ndiame Diop , the World Bank’s Country Director for the Philippines, Malaysia and Thailand. The World Bank is committed to supporting the Philippines, and one of the priorities of the World Bank’s Philippines FY20-24 Country Gender Action Plan is to increase women’s access to paid labor.

Gender Inequality Essay

500+ words essay on gender inequality.

For many years, the dominant gender has been men while women were the minority. It was mostly because men earned the money and women looked after the house and children. Similarly, they didn’t have any rights as well. However, as time passed by, things started changing slowly. Nonetheless, they are far from perfect. Gender inequality remains a serious issue in today’s time. Thus, this gender inequality essay will highlight its impact and how we can fight against it.

  About Gender Inequality Essay

Gender inequality refers to the unequal and biased treatment of individuals on the basis of their gender. This inequality happens because of socially constructed gender roles. It happens when an individual of a specific gender is given different or disadvantageous treatment in comparison to a person of the other gender in the same circumstance.

Impact of Gender Inequality

The biggest problem we’re facing is that a lot of people still see gender inequality as a women’s issue. However, by gender, we refer to all genders including male, female, transgender and others.

When we empower all genders especially the marginalized ones, they can lead their lives freely. Moreover, gender inequality results in not letting people speak their minds. Ultimately, it hampers their future and compromises it.

History is proof that fighting gender inequality has resulted in stable and safe societies. Due to gender inequality, we have a gender pay gap. Similarly, it also exposes certain genders to violence and discrimination.

In addition, they also get objectified and receive socioeconomic inequality. All of this ultimately results in severe anxiety, depression and even low self-esteem. Therefore, we must all recognize that gender inequality harms genders of all kinds. We must work collectively to stop these long-lasting consequences and this gender inequality essay will tell you how.

How to Fight Gender Inequality

Gender inequality is an old-age issue that won’t resolve within a few days. Similarly, achieving the goal of equality is also not going to be an easy one. We must start by breaking it down and allow it time to go away.

Firstly, we must focus on eradicating this problem through education. In other words, we must teach our young ones to counter gender stereotypes from their childhood.

Similarly, it is essential to ensure that they hold on to the very same beliefs till they turn old. We must show them how sports are not gender-biased.

Further, we must promote equality in the fields of labour. For instance, some people believe that women cannot do certain jobs like men. However, that is not the case. We can also get celebrities on board to promote and implant the idea of equality in people’s brains.

All in all, humanity needs men and women to continue. Thus, inequality will get us nowhere. To conclude the gender inequality essay, we need to get rid of the old-age traditions and mentality. We must teach everyone, especially the boys all about equality and respect. It requires quite a lot of work but it is possible. We can work together and achieve equal respect and opportunities for all genders alike.

Gender equality, equal rights and opportunities for girls and boys help all children fulfil their potential..

Of the 625 million children in South Asia, approximately 295 million (nearly 50 per cent) are girls.  

Heartbreakingly, most girls in South Asia have to constantly contend with patriarchal values and harmful gender norms that prioritize men and boys over them.   

These deep-seeded forces and attitudes follow girls throughout their lives – through childhood and adolescence, into their reproductive years and old age. They rob them of opportunities and resources at home, school and in the workplace and shape their health, safety, education and the very course of their lives. And they impact girls from minority groups, disadvantaged castes, religions, poorer backgrounds and girls with disabilities the most.  

Girls are 3 times less likely to go to school than boys and have 5 times less access to phones than boys, depriving them of opportunities to learn and communicate. Despite the fast digital growth in the region, the gap between girls’ and boys’ access to and use of digital platforms has widened. Even for girls that do get to go to school, most are likely to drop out before completing their education than their male peers. As a result, 35% of women in South Asia cannot write or understand a short, simple sentence. Likewise, 46.5% of young women are not participating in any form of education, employment or training opportunities.  

Gender inequality also impacts what girls are given to eat. One in every five adolescent girls in the region are malnourished. Poverty and preference for sons over daughters often leads to female feticide and infanticide as well as discrimination in breastfeeding. In some countries, this has resulted in significantly more boys being born than girls. And when crisis hits, unequal power relations leave girls more vulnerable to violence and with less access to primary health care services.  

Over the past few decades significant gains have been made for girls in South Asia. Gains in primary education, health, child survival, poverty reduction and child marriage are supporting more girls to break through barriers and realize their full potential.  

Tragically, the COVID-19 pandemic has reversed many hard-won gains for women and girls in the region. During COVID-19 lockdowns women and girls spent more time doing household chores and providing care than men and boys. These duties stopped girls from learning, leaving them further behind their male peers.  

As families faced greater financial distress due to the pandemic, more girls were pushed into early and forced marriage. In South Asia, 1 in 4 girls are married before their 18th birthday. Among girls aged 15 to 19 that have either formerly been married or are currently married, 19% have experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner.  

Opportunity

If we tackle the root causes of gender inequality, bold transformative change is possible. 

When girls, regardless of their background, are healthy, educated and empowered to make their own decisions, they can become change-makers and world shapers in their communities. This also significantly contributes to the country’s economic prosperity and development. 

We can create a more equal world for every girl. To do so, we must address the underlying gender norms that deprive the most marginalized adolescent girls of their basic human rights.  

This can be done through advocacy and engaging with girl-led networks and organizations and men and boys’ alliances too.  

Equipped with the right resources and opportunities, South Asia’s 295 million girls can become the largest generation of female leaders, entrepreneurs, and change-makers the world has ever seen.  

We know that investing in adolescent girls has a positive ripple effect across generations. For example, economies that achieve 100% secondary school completion rates for girls by 2030 could see their GDP being boosted by an average of 10%.  

What UNICEF is doing

UNICEF South Asia is committed to advancing gender equality and girls empowerment through investments and interventions that address gender barriers, including targeted interventions to unlock girls’ potential and build their leadership. We are working at all levels – with girls themselves, with girl-led organizations, communities, government and the private sector – to make sure every girl in South Asia has an opportunity to survive, thrive and fulfil her true potential. 

We are creating opportunities for girls’ voices to be heard, to build their agency and their leadership for transformative change. 

We are providing sexual and reproductive health services and mental health support services for adolescent girls to ensure physical and mental well-being of adolescent girls to prevent girls from mental health issues like depression and anxiety and adolescent pregnancy.  

We are ensuring girls’ nutrition is prioritised and that girls are receiving primary quality health care services and nutritional information, and iron and folic acid supplements to protect against anaemia. 

We are addressing misinformation and negative perceptions toward girl nutrition and menstruation health by investing in mothers with antenatal care services and breastfeeding sessions and girls with menstrual hygiene management. 

We are delivering equal and accessible education to all girls, who are both in school and out-of-school including girls in hard-to-reach areas. In 2022, UNICEF’s community-based education and early childhood education programs supported over 860 thousand girls in South Asia. 

We are working with governments and partners to provide girls with 21st-century skill to bolster their employability and diversify their economic opportunities. In South Asia, UNICEF’s UPSHIFT, Rupantaran and Skills4Girls programs provided skill-based trainings to over 20 million girls in 2022.  

We are collaborating with governments and other stakeholders to strengthen policies, systems and budgets to protect girls’ rights and ensure services are available for the most vulnerable adolescent girls.
